"you made out with my literature teacher!" taehyung said as they were driving home, the blush never leaving jin's face.

"yes i know! stop bringing it up! he's fucking hot and he's sweet and intelligent too. i couldn't resist his charms! it's his fault! he's the one who wore his shirt with like all of the buttons undone and revealing his really muscular chest." jin scoffed, pulling into their driveway.

"okay!! i don't want to know the details as to why you are so attracted to him. you could've remembered that your brother and his friend were on their way to the car!" taehyung argued.

"you're right, my fault. now stop mentioning it." jin said, parking the car and turning it off before getting out.

"are you gonna date him?" taehyung asked.

"i don't know! i didn't even get his number." jin muttered.

"i have it!" taehyung said.

jin stopped in his tracks, causing taehyung to bump into his back. he frowned, rubbing his forehead. jin turned around, looking at taehyung. "you have his phone number?" he asked slowly.

taehyung nodded.

"please can i have it pretty please!!" jin said, getting down on his knees and tugging on taehyung's hand.

"hmm, i'll think about it." taehyung said teasingly.

"please, taetae. i'll do anything!" jin said.

"anything? will you let me buy more stuffies?" he asked.

"yes, i'll let you get more stuffies. i'll cook your favorite food. i'll buy you more sweaters. i'll do your laundry for a week. please. anything." jin begged.

taehyung sighed, pulling out his phone. "okay, but just this once. i'm sending you his number now." taehyung said.

"thank you! you're the best brother ever." jin said, getting up and kissing taehyung's forehead.

"you're welcome!" he said before skipping up to his room.

to say taehyung was exhausted was an understatement. as soon as he saw his bed, he fell into the plush blankets and covers, eyes closing and a long sigh escaping his lips.

he almost fell asleep, but he forced himself to get up and get ready for bed. he washed off the little amount of makeup he had worn, then brushed his teeth and changed into silk pajamas. he put on some fuzzy socks and then crawled into bed, his head sinking into the pillow as he wrapped his arms and legs around a huge teddy bear he had.

he couldn't sleep without cuddling something or someone. even if he was super tired, like right now, he couldn't fall asleep if he had nothing to hold onto.

so, jin had bought a giant teddy bear for him to cuddle every night.

"good morning, taehyung." namjoon said as the boy walked into his empty classroom, a book underneath his arm. "hello!" he said with a smile, walking up to his desk.

"how was your weekend?" he asked, patting the chair next to his desk. taehyung sat down, setting his bag on the floor.

"it was good. i gave jin your number by the way. he won't stop talking about you." taehyung said, giggling.

namjoon blushed, nodding. "really? what does he say?" he asked, adjusting the glasses on his nose.

"well, it's kind of uncomfortable for me but he won't shut up about what a good kisser you are and how you looked so hot and attractive and how sweet you were... i'm just gonna stop there." taehyung mumbled.

namjoon's blush deepened. "well, tell him to text me because he hasn't yet." namjoon said.

"will do!" taehyung said, standing up and sitting in his usual seat.

"taehyungie!!!" a familiar voice sounded out.

he looked up, seeing his best friend skipping in. "jiminie!" he said, standing up. jimin ran over and they shared a big hug.

"hoseokie picked me up super early because he wanted to get everything set up for dance after school." jimin explained.

"you should just come to school with me everyday, you are my neighbor after all." taehyung said.

"i know. i really should." he said with a sigh.

"why aren't you with hobi hyung?" taehyung asked curiously.

"i've been with him and yoongi all weekend, i wanted to come see you!" he said, squeezing him tightly. taehyung smiled, hugging him back tightly.

"i'm glad, it's been too long since we've seen each other!" taehyung pouted, keeping his arms around jimin's small body. taehyung was no doubt small as well, but he was slightly taller and a bit broader than jimin.

"you guys saw each other two days ago." namjoon spoke up, chuckling as he watched the two interact.

"i know. that's way too long for us." jimin said with a frown, resting his head on taehyung's shoulder. taehyung nodded in agreement.

"we're inseparable!" he said.

the bell rang, and jimin gasped. "ah, i should get going. bye taetae!" he said, kissing taehyung's cheek before running out.

the younger sat down again, sitting patiently as he waited for his classmates to arrive. he waved at each and every one of them as they walked in, most of them ignoring him and the others giving him awkward looks and waving lamely.

he was oblivious. ah, they must be so tired. it is a monday after all.

a couple minutes later the late bell rang, and namjoon took attendance. "okay, did everyone do the weekend reading?" he asked.

taehyung watched as a few of his classmates eyes widened in fear or realization. taehyung proudly nodded his head.

"okay. for those of you who didn't, judging by your faces, i'll give you fifteen minutes." namjoon said with a sigh.

taehyung pulled out his personal book while he waited, reading through the pages and being fully engaged in the story. after the fifteen minutes were up, he satisfyingly stopped at the end of the chapter, closing his book and focusing his attention on namjoon.

it wasn't long until lunch had arrived, taehyung looking around helplessly with a sack lunch in his hand, not being able to find his friends. panic rose in his chest as he saw multiple people watching him weirdly as he stood in the middle of the cafeteria.

the unwanted attention made his anxiety rise and tears brim his eyes, bringing more people to stare and silently question why he looked like he was about to break down.

his friends were nowhere to be seen, not at their usual table.

he gasped when he felt a hand on his back, whipping around to see jeongguk. "hey, it's okay." he said, noticing taehyung's expression and the shine in his eyes.

he let out a breath of relief, staring up at the older. "come on, i know where jimin is." he said, gently grabbing taehyung's hand and leading him to the other side of the cafeteria, around the wall.

yoongi, hoseok, and jimin looked over, guilt covering their features as they saw the distressed look on taehyung's face.

jeongguk and taehyung sat down, sitting across from each other. "i'm so sorry taehyungie, i completely forgot to text you about moving." jimin said sadly, wrapping his arms tightly around his best friend.

"it's okay, really. no need to feel bad." taehyung said with a reassuring smile, relaxing in his friends hold.

a few minutes later taehyung was back to his normal self, munching on the lunch jin had made him. jeongguk kept stealing glances at the boy, smiling as he bit into a small chocolate bar.

"baby, you want me to come to dance practice and watch you and hoseok?" yoongi asked jimin. he nodded eagerly.

"mhm. i'll show you what we've been learning!" jimin said happily.

"okay, i'll be there." yoongi said with a soft smile.

taehyung and jimin arrived at dance practice, their instructor setting up some music and reading through the choreo he was planning to teach them.

"yoongi and hoseok said they were almost here and that was five minutes ago." jimin pouted. "oh no, i'm sorry. maybe they got stuck in traffic!" taehyung suggested. "or they're just making out." jimin said, shrugging.

taehyung's face scrunched up in disgust, shaking out the vision in his head and setting his backpack on the bench. he took out his dance clothes, skipping over to the bathroom to change.

his dance clothes consisted of some joggers and a normal white t-shirt. it wasn't something he'd ever wear in public, but it was the loosest and most active clothing he had so he wore it for practice.

he exited the bathroom with his previous outfit neatly folded in his hands. he set them down next to his bag and saw jimin by the door talking to his boyfriends.

yay, they made it! wait... and they brought jeongguk!!

taehyung felt himself blushing crazily, so he quickly plopped down onto the floor and hid his face as he put on some shoes.

why did you bring him yoongi? whyyyy?? i'm gonna embarrass myself in front of him! ah, why should i even care? it's not like i'm trying to impress him, it's not like i like him... OH SHITAKI MUSHROOMS, DO I LIKE HIM?

taehyung shook his head, quickly ridding his mind of the thought.

of course you like him, he's so handsome and sweet.

no!! you don't like him, he's just a really good friend! he's just being nice!!

yeah but you still like him.

no i don't! shut up!

never!!

taehyung grumbled at the inner conversation with himself, quickly tying his shoes.

"hey, taehyung." a familiar voice said.

oh poop.

he looked up, seeing jeongguk standing beside him with a smile. taehyung quickly popped up, smiling shyly.

"h-hi, jeongguk." he said.

"i didn't know you danced with jimin and hoseok." he said.

"yeah, we've been dancing since we were little." he explained, trying to get rid of his furious blush but to no avail.

jeongguk noticed this, smiling softly. he's so cute. he thought, staring down at taehyung. he could notice some pretty pink eyeshadow coating his eyelids, as well as two glittery stars glued right underneath his eyes.

pretty.

"alright, everyone! we're learning some new choreography today. gather around!" their instructor said, waving them over.

"i have to go, sorry." taehyung said, quickly leaving and walking over to the rest of the group.

jeongguk watched as they all spread out around the dance floor, their instructor explaining the style of the dance before showing them the first move a few times.

he'd have them repeat it, helping through a few more times before they had it all down. they learned a whole chunk before starting from the beginning and running through that part.

jeongguk's eyes were on taehyung the whole time, watching how his small figure moved perfectly and replicated the dance moves, even if it was his first time learning it. he was really good.

taehyung was like a whole different person when dancing. his demeanor went from shy and cute to focused and sexy. sweat was on his forehead as he watched his instructor, working hard to perfect the moves.

even though they weren't on a stage or performing, he could tell that taehyung's stage presence was amazing. he could see the expression in taehyung's eyes and on his face, his jaw set and small smiles peeking out here and there when he aced a move.

it had jeongguk blushing, finding the boy completely irresistible. it wasn't long before they were finished, or at least it didn't feel long for jeongguk but in reality it had been two hours.

yoongi came up to jeongguk and plopped down beside him, nudging him. "i kept looking at you during the practice and you didn't blink once." yoongi teased, snickering which caused the younger to blush.

"shut up. go talk to your boyfriends." he said, shoving yoongi away.

jeongguk saw taehyung walking into the bathroom with a pile of clothes, so he waited patiently by taehyung's things for him to come out.

when he did, he was back to his normal self in a big sweater and some cute jeans. the boy noticed jeongguk and started blushing, his steps faltering for a second before he closed the distance between them.

"you did really good! i could never dance like that." jeongguk said with a smile, watching as the boy tucked his dirty dance clothes into his bag and zipped it up, throwing it over his shoulder.

"t-thank you... i'm sure you could dance like that if you tried! you've got an athletic body and if you're good at remembering things it should be easy!" taehyung said, looking up at jeongguk.

"you think so?" he asked. taehyung nodded happily, smiling.

"alright lovebirds, let's go." yoongi said, appearing beside them.

jeongguk and taehyung both blushed from yoongi's statement, causing the older boy to chuckle.

"where are we going?" taehyung asked curiously.

"the mall."
